★★★★★

Amazing support and space to heal and strengthen your body. Give it a go. I’ve never felt to strong and supple.

★★★★★

Have been given excellent one-to-one Pilates sessions by Louise for over a year that have helped to strengthen the muscles around the knees. These sessions have improved my mobility, and as a result, I am far more active now. I find the studio to be friendly and spacious with room to move around.

★★★★★

Fantastic experience in a first class setting. Got so much out of Lorraine’s guidance. A very experienced trainer

★★★★★

The classes at Old Dairy Pilates Studio are not only a great workout and amazing for your core strength and posture (which other people also notice improving), but also great fun!! All teachers have fantastic experience and are able to advise on various injuries or general aches and pains. (at my time slot I have met half a dozen teachers over the years I have been going) I can only recommend at least weekly classes!

★★★★★

Loraine is an excellent teacher and keeps me going in my mid seventies and I enjoy my time with her.

★★★★★

After being told I needed a new knee, I spent time building strength around my knee. The surgeon was delighted with my recovery post operation. I put this down to the expertise, knowledge and caring of instructors at the Studio. Highly recommend.

★★★★★

Lorraine helped me back on track 121 from an injury

★★★★★

Lorraine at the old dairy Pilates reformer studio really looks after you and cares about your progress. I have in the past experienced what felt like TaylorMade sessions due to the small class numbers taking into account arthritis and past injuries and felt such progress that affect and improve everyday life, I could not recommend them enough

★★★★★

Fabulous Pilates Studio with fantastic teachers, small classes and a welcoming environment. Absolutely love reformer Pilates and the benefits are amazing.

★★★★★

The Old Dairy Pilates studio is brilliant! I love that the classes are small and that the teachers really understand me, and take the time to make sure I’m doing the exercises correctly. I recommend the studio to almost everyone I meet

★★★★★

I have been attending The Old Dairy since the very beginning. After initially just having one session a week and seeing,feeling the benefits i have now increased to two. Am a huge fan due to small class sizes (4), exercises which are tailored to your needs and excellent,knowledgeable,supportive instructors. Each one hour session has helped me to maintain flexibility,strength and balance. I must say that the team at the Studio are brilliant - wouldn’t go anywhere else.

★★★★★

I can’t recommend these Pilates classes highly enough. The small group sessions, with no more than four people, are fantastic because the classes can be tailored to your individual needs. This has been particularly beneficial for me since being diagnosed with osteoporosis in my spine, as I feel confident that the exercises are being adapted appropriately for me. Louise is a brilliant Pilates tutor and very hands-on, making sure I’m doing the exercises correctly and getting the most out of every session. All of the tutors are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional, and I always feel I’m in very capable hands. I would definitely recommend these classes to anyone looking for personalised Pilates, expert tuition and a friendly, supportive environment.

★★★★★

From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel welcome and completely at ease. As someone totally new to Pilates, I was a bit nervous, but I didn’t need to be. Louise guided me through my first two sessions with patience, reassurance, and really clear instruction. I felt supported the whole time and came away genuinely enjoying it. I’ll definitely be joining on a regular basis now.

★★★★★

I love the reformer classes here, it’s a great workout without being too intense and the instructor (Annabelle) is always on hand to give you advice, to guide you, encourage you and correct your positions. You always leave feeling great and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend all the instructors here. A lovely atmosphere.

★★★★★

I would recommend a 1:1 reformer session at the Old Dairy Pilates Studio. My classes are with Louise. Each session is specifically aimed/targeted at my own personal programe and ability. At the end of each hour session I am both proud of what I have achieved and happy that the session has enhanced my general health and well-being.

★★★★★

Lovely small studio, four to a class , the Instructors are fabulous will tailor an exercise to your ability ( if you have injury or unable to perform exercise ) if necessary. Old Dairy Pilates attracts like minded people who go to a class to work hard and enjoy . I really could not sing the praise Old Dairy Pilates loud enough !

★★★★★

Varied and interesting classes with teachers who can guide your individual needs in the small group - friendly and helpful sessions

★★★★★

Absolutely love this studio! The classes are small, which makes it personal. All of the instructors are welcoming, knowledgeable and very friendly. You can challenge yourself, but go at your own pace. I always feel brilliant when I leave and so glad I joined a year ago. I would never be without it now and I know my body thanks me for it! The studio is in a beautiful setting with loads of parking. Highly recommend.

★★★★★

Fantastic pilates studio with amazing, experienced, friendly instructors and small classes.

★★★★★

Louise, Lorraine and the team have created such a special, supportive, welcoming and inclusive environment that I really can't recommend enough. I have a long-term health condition and all of the instructors have really gone out of their way to understand what I need and provide adaptations where needed, but still support and encourage me to progress. The sessions are a lot of fun as well as effective and as well as being stronger and more flexible than I have been in a long time, I'm starting to feel better about myself and make new friends. And my niggling pain in my hip that I'd just been putting up with for 10 years has almost disappeared! Thank you x

★★★★★

Did a taster session with Lorraine yesterday, first time on a reformer! It was brilliant, as I sit for long hours at work I really wanted to improve my strength and flexibility. Lorraine was like a detective finding all my weak spots and I had a great, unique and personalised workout. Felt great afterwards!

★★★★★

I've been attending classes at The Old Dairy for two years now, and it's truly been transformative. When I first started, I was walking with a limp from an old horse riding injury and struggling with mobility. Thanks to Louise's expert guidance and the supportive environment she's created, I've not only regained proper movement but also become much healthier and more active. The studio is welcoming, professional, and calm, highly recommend.

★★★★★

I absolutely whole heartedly recommend Louise and The Old Dairy Pilates studio. If you want 'real' pilates rather than just gym exercises on a reformer machine it's brilliant. Absolutely fantastic focus on the details, technique and the guidance that genuinely makes pilates a super effective rehab and good posture and movement practice. So unlike so many pilates classes that are just selling it without the experience or teaching skill that this studio offers.

★★★★★

So last Friday I had a 1:1 session with Louise at The Old Dairy Reformer Studio. I have been attending Louise's class in Holcot Village Hall for several years now and am completely hooked on the disciplines and benefits of Pilates, the fun it brings plus the new friends I've made. In the last few months a mid back/lower shoulder injury, sustained around 30 years ago had been giving me a lot of unpredictable, periodic and painful trouble which meant I was unable to attend my weekly class. Following physio and acupuncture sessions I am now so much better so, in preparation for returning to my usual class and on the advice of Louise, I had my 1:1 with her. It was just brilliant. My specifically tailored session on the reformer was carefully structured and monitored. At the end of the hour I felt like a new woman with more awareness of my individual body quirks and how to address these more effectively when exercising in class. My body felt lighter, more balanced and in tune. I'm sure I was an inch taller too!! Many thanks Louise for your understanding, professional advice and friendship. I'm truly grateful.

★★★★★

Gorgeous Pilates reformer centre with a welcoming, chilled vibe. If you want to get strong and move with more ease, it's unlike any other form of exercise and the superb instructors guide you through the movements and equipment carefully, coaching you with precision and lots of hands on feedback and friendly encouragement. I left feeling 10cms taller and had a great session! If you're unsure about Reformer pilates, give it a try. You honestly won't regret it.

★★★★★

Glorious. This is any female's paradise equipped with all the most exciting apparatus, plus such a joyous energy. Louise is otherworldly and I can't encourage anybody to visit this studio soon enough!

★★★★★

An amazing studio with such a welcoming environment. All the instructors have brilliant knowledge on the human body and Pilates. I've been coming here for a year now and I'm obsessed! Coming to classes puts me in a great mood, combats stress and helps me move and feel better. I would recommend these classes to any age or gender!

★★★★★

Lorraine, Louise and their team have created such a special place here, they have managed to combine their incredible expertise and knowledge with great humour and a friendly approach, to create a welcoming and supportive community. Small classes allow them to cast their expert eye over every move and they are totally focused on making sure each person is exercising correctly. The equipment is fabulous but it is their guidance that makes all the difference. If you want greater flexibility and strength, and more insight into how to recognise and correct some of the bad habits and imbalance in your body, this is the place for you. As a lifelong exercise-phobic, they have kept me motivated for the last two years, and that's no mean feat.

★★★★★

I went to The Old Dairy due to suffering with lower back pain. I had three 1-2-1 sessions with Lorraine who has x-ray vision and could tell me so much about what was causing my issues. I have now joined group classes which are max 4 people so you get SO much guidance, today I was even taught how to breathe properly whilst exercising. They are so thorough and it's a very personalised session even within a group lesson. I'm already feeling the benefits and have learnt so much about my body. I would highly recommend The Old Dairy reformer pilates.

★★★★★

Excellent classes. Very holistic approach to mobility and strengthening. Small classes so able to really focus in on your individual needs. Nice friendly atmosphere.
